True there judge peel the word finished is just a label. Many people ask me if mine r finished I just reply with my dogs hate pigs they hunt find them and catch em.  I guess I just expect more out of a dog than other folks.

When you can take that 1 dog by himself to the fields and he can track, find bay and hold a hog you have a solid dog.


I have seen other guys post ^ in the past when referring to what it takes for a dog to be considered a solid or "finished" hogdog and i agree with it 100%.

A dead dog is a finished dog.

To me the term finished implies that the dog will always strike never trash never give up or never lose his pray I just don't think that standard can hold up on a dog. Jam up dog is a better statement to me my dogs do good but I wouldn't say mine are ether

To me the term finished has nothing to do with how good a dog or how sorry a dog is. To me it's a solid, consistant dog, usually a 4 year old, that has been hunted hard and you pretty well know what they will do in any given situation. I have seen lots of dogs that should never have made it long enough to get a label but they were the same every time out.
  When a dog gets old and starts going down hill and unable to perform at the same level as when they were 5, does that mean they are unfinished? Someone that knows very much, at all, about dogs can still tell you what they can do in a given situation.

Hell to me they're just dogs. I got a pair of dogs that if I put them down together I can feel "confident" there wasn't a hog in the area. Some days!!! lol Some days I'd be damn proud to call em "finished" dogs... Then I'll talk good about them and we start over hahaha. I got a jammed up old dog. I like the number 2 outta him, some people prolly would cull him. He's is about as "finished" as I can see one being. He's steady, not fast, he will hold the same lope from the time you drop him till the time you pick him up no matter how long that is. He stays busy the whole time his feet are on the ground. You keep moving he will stay in the general area, you stop he will hunt out on his own. I can rig him, half ass cast him, road him. It doesn't matter how I hunt him he will always hunt. I guess some would call him finished, I just reckon he's a decent ol dog. I guess steady and consistent is what "finished" is to me.
